you don't have to remove the wheels trust me... pop a few tabs and screw and pull the fender liner

I removed mine but after doing it, i agree, just jack up the car so the wheel drops down out of the way.

It seems brighter to me although I know that's not physically possible being as lumens decrease the higher in the color range you go.

Meh. You can still see perfect, and everything is in perfect natural white light. Plus it looks neat.

Although i only had experiences with 6K's, i could tell you that 8K's have less visibility, im already experiencing less light with my 6K's

thats exatly what i wanted to hear. yea the stock lights look a litlle yellow compared to other cars, but when the maxima turns on his high beams and i do in the G he has to turn his off because he cant stand to look at mine
so i think this is why infiniti chose the 4300 so we can see. i like hyperwhite lights all around and them being bright as but until something comes out thats bright and not yellow. im staying with stock.

Thanks OP! Did this just now. I agree, the hardest part is taking off the wheels. Next time if I have to change them again, I will just be jacking up the car and pulling the fender liner.

I just wanted to give my 2 cents about the 8k bulbs from 3bspec. Not only is there DRAMATICALLY less light, but my beam pattern is all screwed up. My clean cut-off is gone and I have ended up with "hot spots" of intensity instead of having an even dispersion of light. I don't think the tolerances on the chinese bulbs are the same as the Phillips. The bulbs are inferior from a construction perspective.

I'd recommend against buying these. I am going back to stock.

Maxxim, considering you are the only one complaining of problems with beam patterns and hot spots... I would say you are the minority and probably just had some bad luck with either installing or the bulbs themselves. I believe a dozen or so other people have the 3Bspec bulbs here and I havent heard any similar problems from them. You may want to contact 3Bspec and get some replacements and try again. They have very good customer service so I'm sure you wont run into any trouble. You should have new bulbs within a week or so.
